CORSAIR has decided to diversify their product offerings by going into Air Cooling. As some of you may be aware, CORSAIR put out the very popular H50 Liquid Cooling system just a while ago. Due to its price point and decent performance, it flew off the shelves. Hopefully these new cooling solutions will live up to their early successes rather than just adding noise to the already crowded CPU Cooler market.

Here’s a clip from the full press release with the whole enchilada plus additional pictures after the jump.

Well, I guess they are ALMOST First! Earlier on, ECS announced their AMD 890GX chipset enabled boards. Though both ECS and GIGABYTE’s board offer SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0, the GIGABYTE offers up something called 3x Power Boost to their USB channels, allowing you up to three times the power for hungry USB peripherals. Their solution is based off an NEC uPD70200 host controller which gives it both quick USB 3.0 transfers and backwards compatibility with USB 2.0 devices. With USB 3.0, SATA 3.0 and 3X Power Boost, GIGABYTE has coined this their “333 Onboard Acceleration”.

GIGABYTE’s Ultra Durable technology is also in this board giving you more copper in the PCB and higher quality capacitors and components for longer life and better (overclocking) performance. Something GIGABYTE is known for. Of course, don’t forget that the AMD 890GX chipset offers support for their new 6-Core CPUs and the beefy power on this board is ready for it, despite being an all in one solution with integrated graphics, which aren’t too shabby by the way, sporting an HD 4290 IGP, hybrid CrossFireX and DirectX 10.1.

Hit the “read more” for the full press release and a couple more glamour shots.

It’s true! ECS Elitegroup is still alive and kicking and they too will be coming out with some new motherboards based on the AMD 890GX chipset.
